Description

59mm Stroker Crankshaft – Honda/Clone/Predictor Small Block Engines (Ductile Iron)


Unlock more torque and displacement without breaking the bank. The 59mm (2.323") stroker crankshaft is standard in the Wildcat 240 engine and serves as a powerful stroker upgrade for most Honda GX200 clones and Predator small block engines.


Key Features & Benefits

  • Ductile Iron Construction: Stronger and more flexible than standard cast iron. Offers excellent shock absorption and fatigue resistance under high RPM conditions.
  • Hardened Journals & Crankpin: Provides extended life and superior durability under high load.
  • Performance Gains: A longer stroke increases displacement, mechanical leverage, piston speed, and compression—all of which improve horsepower and torque output.
  • Affordable Stroker Upgrade: A cost-effective alternative to billet crankshafts while still delivering high-level performance.


Specs:

  • Stroke: 59mm (2.323")
  • Material: Ductile Iron
  • Crankpin Size: 1.180" (Honda/Clone Standard)
  • Flywheel Taper: Honda/Clone Compatible
  • Journals & Pin: Hardened for wear resistance and strength


Displacement Increases by Bore Size:

  • 196cc (68mm bore): 214.27cc
  • 212cc (70mm bore): 227.06cc
  • 225cc (72mm bore): 240.22cc
  • 71.5mm bore: 236.89cc
  • 76mm bore: 267.65cc


Fitment & Installation Notes:

  • Compatible with Honda GX200, 196cc clones, Predator 212/224, Tillotson 212R/225RS, Wildcat 223/240, and Ducar small blocks.
  • Works with ARC Clone Rods and EC Pinnacle Connecting Rods (recommended for best clearance and fit).
  • Clearancing Required: Installation will require block and camshaft clearance work. Some camshaft compression releases may interfere with crankshaft weights. Use camshafts ground on 223/224 cores for best fitment.
  • Not a drop-in part – assembly should be performed by an experienced engine builder.


Recommended For:

  • Performance builds targeting higher torque and RPM
  • Stroker kits and custom high-displacement small block setups
  • Go-karts, minibikes, and racing applications

FAQ

Q1: What engines will this crankshaft fit?

A: It fits GX200-based small-block engines, including Predator 212/224, Wildcat 223/240, Ducar 196/224, Tillotson 212/225RS, and similar 196–240?cc clones.


Q2: What performance gains can I expect from a 59?mm stroke?

A: Increasing stroke boosts engine displacement, torque, piston speed, and compression. Depending on bore size, displacement gains range from ~214?cc to ~267?cc over the stock setup.


Q3: What material is this crank made of?

A: Manufactured from ductile iron, it bends before breaking, offering better shock absorption and fatigue resistance than standard cast crankshafts.


Q4: Can I use my stock connecting rods?

A: It works with stock ARC Clone rods but requires precision block & camshaft clearance work. We recommend EC Pinnacle rods for optimized fitment and reliability.


Q5: Is it a drop-in replacement?

A: No. Camshaft compression release and crankshaft weights may need extra clearance. Use a cam ground on 223/224 cores or consult an engine builder before installation.
